I don't think CP should out-and-out show everyone's voting, as I think it could possibly cause more harm than good with tit-for-tat voting. As it is, if people want to be known for a vote (your opt-in idea), they usually leave a reply of 'My vote of 5', or 'My vote of 1'. However, I really like the voting trend idea, showing how they vote on average.

Voting trends probably won't show what people think they will show. Even those who have targeted a given member often vote other members up in the same breath.

How about an average vote-value? Which would be the weighted average of all votes a member has ever cast.
|
|
|
|
|
I guess that depends on what you think I think people think it will show
Honestly, I just think it would be an interesting stat. You show the average rating of content created by members, I think showing an average of how people rate others would be interesting as well.

I like both of these.
A potential problem with the first, the valuable guys on 'Spam Watch' may look like 'Troll Voter's, but I'm sure there would be a way for that to be sorted.
Anonymous voting is pretty pointless IMO.

I hunt the pink as well as the next man, but my up votes far out way my down votes. I reckon I'll vote 20-30 times a day and max 10 will be down votes.

Thanks! I think...

I like your earlier suggestion. If you want to be able to vote, you agree to have your voting shown. No agreement, no vote.

This is probably no option, but I vote for removing the voting system.

That was before Microsoft gave us a form designer and garbage collection. You know, back when we were actually responsible for writing good code?

Could we do a big test: One month without voting system ? Simply disable it, and see if the world is really worse without it.

This would obviously be my first choice and one I have pushed many times in the past!

I know you asked someone else, but if you asked me, then my answer would be YES!

Yes, I actually think that would be a good thing. It takes away the hassle of having to leave a comment, while informing the recipients of a vote who has thus endowed them with this special form of appreciation.

It now takes you to your own account - if this is by design, then it is confusing: I posted a spammer in the S&A forum, and when Nagy clicked on it, it went to him...
